Ex-Mail Carrier Pleads Guilty to Charges He Delivered Heroin in Hawaii

A former U.S. Postal Service employee in Hawaii has pleaded guilty to charges he distributed heroin in the mail in exchange for receiving some of the drug for himself, court records showed.
Michael Trento entered the plea on Thursday in federal court before Chief Judge Susan Mollway in Honolulu, and he was allowed to remain free on bail until he is sentenced on Nov. 9, according to minutes from the court proceedings.
He pleaded guilty to charges he conspired to distribute and possess about one kilogram of heroin and receive one gram of heroin in return for delivering the drug in the mail.
Three other men were charged as part of the scheme. They are accused of using Trento as a go-between for drug delivery.
